Description
Pierre Bonnard was a key artist in a movement that came after Impressionism: Les Nabis. Influenced by the flat colour and decorative elements of Japanese wood prints and Gauguin’s pure colours, Bonnard forged a style that was both radical and beautiful. Curator of the NGV’s winter blockbuster, Ted Gott and Musee d’Orsay’s Isabelle Cahn, discuss Bonnard’s life and long relationship with his wife and muse Marthe de Meligny.Enter the studio of Michaye Boulter, a nipaluna/Hobart-based painter whose seascapes are unmistakably of southern Tasmania… but painted from her imagination, not from life. When art student Marikit Santiago saw a self-portrait in the Archibald prize of a white Australian man surrounded by Filipino iconography, she felt a pang of guilt. In her own paintings, she’d never explored her own culture. Marikit is now a prized painter whose work has won the Sulman Prize and been shortlisted for the Archibald. Her rich figurative paintings delve into dual identities, migration, motherhood, and religion.
